what is an example of elastic skeletal cartilage
epiglatus, ears

what does the hyaline cartilage provide
provides support, flexibility and resillience

- articular, costal, respiratory, and nasal
articular hyaline cartilage
covers the end of long bones, puts them together
costal cartilage
connects rib to sternum
respiratory hyaline cartilage
makes up the larynx and reinforces air passages
nasal hyaline cartilage
supports the nose
